In July, Girlfriends Gathering, gathered at my home for Summertime crafting.
It was, as always, an amazing day filled with good friends, good food and creating!
I had done some purging in my small studio and
found I had way too many bottles...so,
Altered Bottles was our artsy craft for the day.
Of course with it being Summer,
Mermaids were the theme
Lee's Altered Mermaid Bottle
Lee first tried color fairy lights to illuminate her bottle.
Followed up by switching to white fairy lights
Nora's Altered Mermaid Bottle
While searching for mermaid images, I found most
mermaids have long, flowing, curly red hair.
Few are blonde and only found two as brunettes.
Nora chose a brunette mermaid to adorn
Love this text on the backside of her bottle!
(Several of us used it too)

I think the way Beth's story goes is she found her bottle at
an estate sale that morning on her way here...
her bottle was blue and perfect!
Here's a different view showing a wonderful Beachy tag
(I think she may have made at one of our prior Gatherings)
Kim created her mermaid bottle in
her delightful, colorful Bohemian style
painting in her mermaid image
Gail chose not to create a mermaid bottle.
She loves purple and chose to create this beauty

Rather than a mermaid bottle, Karla worked on her
